Moreover, even if he wanted to study and obtain an official title, it would be his son who should take the exam, not him.

In the past, his stepmother would beat and scold him because he earned little money, and would not give him food. Now that Lu Liang has grown up, she doesn't dare to hit him like she did when he was a child, but she is merciless with her mouth, and sometimes she often doesn't leave him any food. He has to go hungry after setting up the stall all day, but he doesn't care, and these have never shaken Lu Liang's inner ambition.

He wanted to take part in the imperial examination. He knew very well that if he wanted to escape from the predicament of his current life and get rid of these vampires, he must study hard, take part in the imperial examination, and gain fame for himself in order to change his destiny.

He knew that this road would be difficult. After all, there is an old saying that a scholar is good for nothing. But he did not want to give up this only way out.

Lu Liang met An Shishan on that day when he was selling his calligraphy and paintings on the roadside as usual.

Shishan was alone that day, and there was no maid with her, because the maid was ordered to go to the nearby pastry shop to queue up to buy pastries. Shishan was bored waiting and looked around. She accidentally glanced at the calligraphy and painting stall not far away and was attracted by the sonorous words on the stall. She walked to the stall to look at the calligraphy and paintings, and asked Lu Liang who was concentrating on writing couplets, "Did you write all these yourself?"

Lu Liang raised his head when he heard the voice, and a flash of surprise flashed across his eyes. The girl in front of him had red lips and a pink face, her eyebrows and eyes were picturesque, and she was gentle and intelligent, like a lotus flower emerging from the water. It was the first time he had seen such a beautiful girl. Judging from her clothes, she should be the eldest daughter of a wealthy family, but seeing that she was alone, he guessed that she should be a girl from an ordinary family with good family conditions. He answered shyly, "Yes, these calligraphy and paintings are all from my hand."

And when Lu Liang looked up, Shishan's eyes sparkled with surprise, like stars lighting up in the night sky. At that moment, it was like seeing the man she had admired for a long time.

The scholar was tall and slender, standing like a bamboo pole between heaven and earth, dressed in a simple and elegant blue shirt, exuding a bookish air. He had a delicate face, a high nose bridge, and a pair of black eyes that sparkled with intelligence.

His temperament is restrained and not ostentatious, but he can stand out in the crowd. It is a kind of Confucian elegance from the inside out, which is not only influenced by poetry and books, but also has moral cultivation. The style of a scholar is like a breeze, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.

Realizing her own gaffe, she lowered her head shyly, not daring to look the other person in the eye.

It was Lu Liang who spoke first to break the deadlock. "Miss, are you going to buy calligraphy and paintings?"

Seeing that the other party took the initiative to break the deadlock, Shishan followed his words and the two began to talk.

In the end, Shishan sold a painting and two calligraphy works.

Since then, I often see Shishan appearing at the stall selling calligraphy and paintings. After a while, the two became familiar with each other. The more I know, the more I am attracted by Lu Liang's talent, poetry, books, and positive spirit. Shishan often stares at Lu Liang's calligraphy and paintings at home.

In the end, they both fell in love. As time went by, they naturally came together. It seemed that everything was going in a good direction, but things did not go as planned.

I don't know when Lu Liang's attitude towards her changed. In addition, after his stepmother knew about her existence, she began to make all kinds of unreasonable demands and even slandered her reputation. Later, there was a scene where An Yuanyuan stood up for Shishan.

The day An Yuanyuan vented her anger for her, Lu Liang didn't say a word from beginning to end. He could even be said to be watching coldly from the sidelines. Even when his stepmother and younger brothers and sisters were about to be arrested, he was not moved at all. It seemed that he was just a bystander, not caring about it.

Shishan was also disappointed by his attitude and decided to break up with him.

What Shishan didn't know was that Lu Liang did this on purpose. When he learned of her identity, he suppressed his feelings for her.

He and she were simply not on the same level. He knew that it was not easy to marry Shishan. After all, he had to get through her father. He knew that he had nothing to show for it except his talent. But was the Prince An's Mansion a place that lacked talented people? Obviously not.

In addition, Lu Liang never thought of changing his life by climbing up the social ladder. He just wanted to change his life through his own efforts.

Moreover, due to his family background, he may have chosen to end this relationship because of his inferiority complex, or because of his so-called self-knowledge and self-esteem.

Lu Liang saw the disappointment in Shi Shan's eyes that day, but he still turned a deaf ear to it.

She is so beautiful and deserves someone better.

Here, the secret letter about the war emergency was delivered to the emperor in a hurry.

The emperor has the right to know about any war situation, so all reports will be made to him in a timely and urgent manner.

When I learned that several countries had joined forces, I was also anxious.

But he felt a little relieved when he learned that Leng Aotian had sent his own cavalry to resist.

Soon, all the civil and military officials knew about the situation of the war on the border. They were all worried and uneasy.

Although I know that Prince Leng is in charge, I am still worried about what might happen.

If that place is lost, the consequences will be disastrous.

Officials and ministers of the court came forward one after another to report

"Your Majesty, the war on the border is urgent. We should do a good job of logistics so that the soldiers can rest assured."

The emperor nodded. He naturally knew what logistics work was, so he ordered the expedited delivery of military rations.

Taking into account the increase in the number of casualties mentioned in the letter, a large amount of medicines was dispatched.

But no doctors or other personnel were sent there. Not anyone could enter the military camp without permission.

Unless there is an order from General Leng.

"The soldiers sacrificed their lives for the Celestial Empire, and their relatives must be treated well."

"Your Majesty is Wise"

………………

A war that affects the entire people of the Celestial Empire has begun its final curtain.

On the barren land, a chaotic battlefield came into view. The afterglow of the setting sun fell on the dusty land, showing a blood-red picture. With the billowing smoke, accompanied by the neighing of war horses and the fluttering of flags, this war that had lasted for many days was about to enter a white-hot stage.

Thousands of horses galloped, dust flew up, and soldiers, armed with weapons, rushed towards the enemy like a tide. Arrows flew, and the formation was orderly. For a moment, the sound of killing on the battlefield shook the sky.

In the last battle, the general won the victory due to his good tactics and the bravery of his soldiers. The battle was brutal, with corpses and ruins everywhere. This battle was the last battle of the general's life, and he ended his military career with a perfect record.
